§12-98.
When a cause of action accrues against a person and that person is out
of the state or has concealed himself, the period limited for the
commencement of the action shall not begin to run until he comes into
the state, or while he is concealed. If, after a cause of action
accrues against a person and that person leaves the state or conceals
himself, the time of his absence or concealment shall not be computed
as any part of the period within which the action must be brought.
Provided, however, that if any statute which extends the exercise of
personal jurisdiction of courts over a person or corporation based
upon service outside this state, or based upon substituted service
upon an official of this or any other state or nation, or based upon
service by publication permits the courts of this state to acquire
personal jurisdiction over the person, the period of his absence or
concealment shall be computed as part of the period within which the
action must be brought.
